Pros

Besides some fun coworkers there isn't a single pro.

Cons

Absolutely no chance of advancement... Unless you are one of managements favorites. Completely bizarre business model. Loss prevention only watches employees while thiefs walk out with half the store. Point system is, pointless. Insane store policies that seem to be in place strictly to make people mad. Management does not care at all about employees. I really wish I could rate this company less then 1 star.
